Buy & Sell Shares

Open a position, reduce it, or exit before resolution

Buying shares opens or increases a position. Selling reduces an existing position and returns the trade proceeds to your available balance after the fill settles.

Before you trade

  • Read the market rules and resolution source.
  • Check the best bid, best ask, spread, and available size.
  • Confirm that your balance covers the order and estimated fee.

Buy shares

Choose an outcome

Open the market and select the outcome you expect to win.

Build the order

Choose Market or Limit, enter the amount or number of shares, and review the estimated price, total, and fee.

Sign and monitor

Submit the order. Filled shares appear in your portfolio; unfilled Limit quantity appears under Open Orders.

Sell shares

Select Sell

Open the market, choose the outcome you hold, and switch the order panel to Sell.

Choose execution

Use Market for immediate execution against bids, or Limit to set your minimum price.

Review and sign

Confirm the shares, estimated proceeds, and fee. Monitor open quantity in Portfolio → Open Orders.

You cannot sell more shares than your available position. Shares committed to an open sell order may be unavailable until that order fills or is canceled.

You can sell before resolution or hold a winning position through settlement and claim its payout.
